I could do a lot of things/How does that work?


Charlotte: So, what are you doing here?
Bob: Uh, a couple of things. Taking a break from my wife, forgetting my son's birthday. And, uh, getting paid two million dollars to endorse a whiskey when I could be doing a play somewhere.
Charlotte: Oh.
Bob: But the good news is, the whiskey works. [Charlotte laughs] What are you doing?
Charlotte: My husband's a photographer, so he's here working. I wasn't doing anything so I came along. And we have some friends that live here.
Bob: How long you've been married? [lights Charlotte's cigarette]
Charlotte: Oh, thank you. Two years.
Bob: Try twenty-five.
Charlotte: You're probably just having a mid-life crisis. Did you buy a Porsche yet?
Bob: You know, I was thinking about getting a Porsche.
Charlotte: Twenty-five years. That's, uh, well it's impressive.
Bob: Well you figure, you sleep one-third of your life, that knocks out eight years of marriage right there. So you're, y'know, down to sixteen and change. You know you're just a teenager, at marriage; you can drive it but there's still the occasional accident.
Charlotte: [laughs] Yeah.
Bob: What do you do?
Charlotte: I'm not sure yet, actually. I just graduated last spring.
Bob: What did you study?
Charlotte: Philosophy.
Bob: Yeah, there's a good buck in that racket.
Charlotte: Well, so far it's pro bono.
Bob: Well, I'm sure you'll figure out the angles.
Charlotte: Yeah. I hope your Porsche works out. Cheers to that, huh?
Bob: Cheers to that.
